Republican Proposal (Spanish: Propuesta Republicana) is a centre-right electoral front in Argentina. It is usually referred to as PRO

PRO is principally an alliance between Commitment to Change, the party of Mauricio Macri based in Buenos Aires, and Recreate for Growth (Recrear) of Ricardo López Murphy. It was created ahead of the legislative elections of 23 October 2005. At the 2005 elections the alliance won nine of the 127 elected deputies (out of 257).

Other provincial centre-right parties have joined under the Recrear banner within PRO. Macri and López Murphy have been in discussions with Governor Jorge Sobisch, leader of the Neuquino People's Movement and likely presidential candidate in 2007, although these discussions appear to have broken down.
